Chapter 397: The Battle of Tuhe
This night, Liu Lin slept extremely sweetly.
In the middle of the night, he faintly heard the sound of killing outside, but he rolled over and continued to sleep.
In the dream, he dreamed of the arrival of the Jurchens, he knelt in front of the Jurchens, the Jurchens touched the top of his head with their hands, he was grateful, he gave away his family's possessions, his women were sacrificed, and a smile of "happiness" appeared on his face.
The sky gradually brightened, and at this time, Liu Lin suddenly felt a little chill on his body.
He muttered twice, and the quilt was tightened, but at this time he felt that the quilt seemed to be extremely cold!
He opened his eyes in a daze, and at that moment, a basin of cold water poured down on his head.
This time, Liu Lin finally came to his senses completely.
"Bastard!" He sat up and cursed loudly.
Soon, however, another basin of water was poured on his head.
"Who are you?" At this time, Liu Lin felt that something was wrong, he looked ahead and said in astonishment.
There were more than ten people standing in front of them, and these more than ten people were wearing military uniforms, but this military uniform was a little different from the military uniform of their puppet army. But it's not a Jurchen military uniform, like the military uniform of the Great Song Dynasty!
The person standing in front of him is also a Han person, a Han person who is exactly the same as him!
"So I'm dreaming? I clearly remember that it was a good dream, the Jurchen adults came to Yucheng, they were very good to me, and constantly rewarded me, why did they dream of Song Jun again? Liu Lin muttered.
"What dreams?" A Song army general on the opposite side snorted coldly, came to Liu Lin's side, and slapped Liu Lin in the face.
With a muffled sound, Liu Lin let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell off the bed.
"This, this, this...... Not even a dream? Liu Lin let out a shocking scream.
"Nature is not a dream!" The general of the Song army on the opposite side said amusedly.
"How did you get to Yucheng? No way, we still have an army of 10,000, you can't just show up! Liu Lin rolled to the corner, his body trembled, and spoke.
The general of the Song army laughed, clapped his hands, and saw a middle-aged literati walk in from outside.
With a flattering smile on the face of the middle-aged literati, he knelt down in front of the generals of the Song army and said, "The villain sees the general." ”
"Master Liu? It's you? Liu Lin said in disbelief.
It turned out that the middle-aged literati was the same Master Liu who visited him last night, but he never dreamed that Master Liu was a traitor! Liu Lin had already guessed what happened last night, it must have been Master Liu who opened the city gate, and then the Song army entered Yucheng smoothly, and then the Song army captured Yucheng without much effort.
"Childe, I'm sorry." Master Liu said.
"Damn, our father and son are not kind to you, why did you betray our father and son?" Liu Lin gritted his teeth and said.
"You are traitors and traitors, I just had no way to commit myself to you temporarily! Now that Master Wang has arrived, I naturally want to take refuge in Master Wang. Master Liu said.
"Humph! Didn't you say that the Jurchen army will be coming soon, are you lying to me? Liu Lin said coldly.
"Of course not lying to you." Master Liu said.
"The Jurchens are invincible! When the Jurchen army arrives, you will only have one way to die! Master Liu, you're looking for death! Liu Lin said.
"The Jurchen army is coming, they are looking for death!" The general of the Song army sneered.
"Yes, the Jurchens are here, that's looking for death!" Master Liu hurriedly smiled and said.
"You take refuge in Wang Shi, so that we can take Yucheng without much effort, and we will not treat you badly! Your Majesty has a decree that for people like you who have taken refuge in meritorious service, all previous sins will not be blamed in the past, and rewards will be given! The general of the Song army said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, General!" Master Liu was overjoyed, knelt on the ground again, and said.
"What are you going to do with my son?" Liu Lin was sweating profusely and said.
"General, this man is a traitor and must be killed!" Master Liu said with a smile.
"Master Liu, you are so traitorous for glory!" Liu Lin was furious.
"You are the son of Liu Yu, your father and son have done many evils, and there is only one way to die." The general of the Song army said coldly.
At that moment, he waved his hand, and several Song soldiers pounced and dragged Liu Lin outside.
"Don't, don't kill me!" Liu Lin and urine flowed together, and shouted in panic.
However, the Song soldiers had already pulled him outside, and a Song soldier had already raised the knife in his hand and swung it downward.
"Ahh Liu Lin let out an earth-shattering scream.
However, after a while, Liu Lin realized that the knife had not fallen and his neck had not been cut off.
He fell to his knees, gasping for breath.
At this moment, the generals of the Song army had already come to him.
"You do what I say, and I can spare your life!" The general of the Song army said coldly.
"Yes, yes! The villain understands! The villain understands! Liu Lin gasped and said.
******
On the afternoon of September 13, more than a dozen Jurchens came to the outside of Yucheng.
They shouted a few times below, the gate of Yucheng opened, and they rode into Yucheng.
After that, they came to the county government of Yucheng, and Liu Lin came out with a few attendants to greet them.
These Jurchens were all small soldiers, but Liu Lin had already knelt down impatiently.
"You are Liu Yu's son Liu Lin?" A Jurchen soldier said coldly.
Among these Jurchen soldiers, this person was fluent in Chinese.
"It's the villain!" Liu Lin said with a smile.
"What is the situation in Yucheng now? Is there a Song Army around? The Jurchen soldier said.
"Everything is normal around, I didn't see Song Jun." Liu Lin said.
"Very well, you wait here, our army will be coming soon!" Jurchen soldiers said.
"Okay, villain waiting for your army to arrive." Liu Lin said.
When the Jurchen soldiers left, Liu Lin stood up, he wiped the sweat on his face, and saw that the Song army general had come behind him.
"General, I've done what you said." Liu Lin said.
"Very good, the Jurchens are coming, let's go meet the Jurchens." The Song army general said.
"Ahh Liu Lin was there.
"We will take 10,000 soldiers and horses to meet the Jurchens!" The general of the Song army said with a smile.
"However, this is looking for death!" Liu Lin said.
"Humph! If you don't agree, let you die now. The general of the Song army said coldly.
"The villain understands." Liu Lin cried and said.
"This time, the Jurchens will be wiped out. At the beginning in northern Shaanxi, I was rebelling against the Jurchens, and after joining the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, I was also rebelling against the Jurchens, and now I am destroying the Jurchens and restoring the Central Plains! From northern Shaanxi to Shandong, it's been six years, and it's time for it all to end! The general of the Song army said secretly.
He looked to the west with a confident glint on his face.

The sky was getting dark, and Wanyan Zongwang was leading 80,000 Jurchen troops and 20,000 puppet troops towards the front at this moment.
The Jurchen army was all cavalry, but the 20,000 puppet troops were infantry, so this time they marched much slower. Of course, the Jurchen army has been urging and whipping those puppet armies, and those puppet armies are now extremely tired.
There was the sound of running water in front of him, Wanyan Zongwang beckoned, and a commander came to him.
"Where is the front?" Wanyan Zong said.
"Ahead is the earth river." This thousand commanders said.
"It turned out to be Tuhe! After here, it is not far from Yucheng. Wanyan Zong said.
"Tuhe" is also a famous river in Hebei and Shandong! At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were diverted, cutting off the flow of the Shang River into the sea! In order to drain the water, the ruler at that time spent hundreds of thousands of people digging a dirt river between the Yellow River and the Shang River in ten years.
In later generations, the Yellow River broke many times, and the course of this Tuhe River became wider and wider, and its status became more and more important, and it was later called the Tuxiao River.
Today, it is still the "Earth River".
"How's the situation in Yucheng?" Wanyan Zong said.
"Everything is normal in Yucheng, one of Liu Yu's sons, Liu Lin, is defending there, and there is no Song army around." Thousand-mile said.
"Excellent! Let's move forward overnight, strive to get to Yucheng as soon as possible, and when we get there, let's rest. Wanyan Zong said.
At that moment, the Jurchen army continued to move forward.
A quarter of an hour later, they came to the earth river.
I saw that the waves of the earth river were surging, and the river surface was extremely wide.
"Your Highness, there is a small bridge there, a small number of people can pass through, but it is unlikely that our 100,000 troops want to cross that small bridge." Thousand-mile said.
"Erect a pontoon bridge now!" Wanyan Zong said.
Soon, the Jurchen army began to erect pontoon bridges.
An hour later, more than a dozen pontoon bridges were assumed to be there, and the Jurchen army headed towards the opposite side.
On the opposite side was a wilderness meadow, and the grass was so lush that it was half a man's height! It is autumn, and many of the grass has withered and turned yellow.
The evening breeze was blowing, and only the sound of the wind could be heard, and it seemed that everything was normal in front of me.
Wanyan Zongwang came to the opposite side, and at this time, several Jurchens rushed towards here.
"Your Highness, Yucheng Liu Lin led 10,000 soldiers and horses to greet Your Highness!" A Jurchen soldier said.
Say:
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all friends! Good luck!
